Kill Monty hits 1.0.3!
KILL EVERYTHING!
In the tradition of such extinction-level events as Asteroid Impacts, Super-Novas, and Ashlee Simpson Christmas Albums, Freeverse proudly announces Kill Monty, the game that spanks your adrenal gland and makes you call it "Papi".
Version 1.0.3 adds-
- Added TRON-like zombie, and changed the names in the options screen.
- Picking up another gun while you have the death ray no longer cancels the deathray. It will however change the gun you revert to after you run out of ammo.
- Moved character/level select to its own subscreen in options, uncluttering the normal options screen (to make room for more normal options) and also to make room for more unlockable levels later on.
- Added the option for the large crosshair.
- Made the floor reflect alpha to allow for a transparent floor, and extended the walls below the floor.
- Mines are changed to be a bonus weapon now. Each pickup gives an additional 25 mines.
OMG people!

Free JARED Widget available from Freeverse!
The infamous Jared: Butcher of Song is now available as a widget for Mac OS 10.4, (or "Tiger" as Mary Jane Watson calls it).
Jared has long been an affront to the senses, an insult to the diatonic scale, an inappropriate "yo-mama" joke told over-loud at the elegant dinner party of internet culture, but never has Jared been as much of a waste of hard drive space as he is as a widget.
On the plus side, Jared is yellow. I'm fond of yellow. Oh, and he's free. So head on over to our Jared page and download him. You'll be sorry you did!
